Edmonton Still In The Mix For Heatley

from Dan Barnes of the Edmonton Journal,
Heatley has not changed his mind about the issues that provoked the trade demand, which was sent to Murray in the guise of a formal request. He isn’t going to tuck his tail between his legs and slink back into Ottawa, where he tops even the Bloc Quebecois, Canada Revenue Agency and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s myopic PR man on a list of pariahs.
The only resolution is an acceptable trade proposal and the waiving of Heatley’s no-movement clause, in that order. That sequence of events won’t occur unless and until Murray presents the Heatley camp with at least two more potential destinations in addition to Edmonton.
As luck would have it, a source close to the situation said Friday that Murray is in fact dealing with two other teams who have a genuine interest in acquiring Heatley, but neither team had formalized an offer.

Seems like there was more to it than the 4 million July 1st bonus everyone was talking about....
Yeah, how about a 7.5mil cap hit + 2nd line player/draft picks/prospects for a cry baby who without a support cast (can’t say edm has one for him) will have another 30 goal campaign. Edm should have just signed Camm.
